Branch 13 of the Appeals Court in Khuzestan has sentenced independent journalist Abolfazl Abedini to 11 years of peremptory confinement.

According to HRANA reporters, Branch 13 of the Appeals Court in Khuzestan has confirmed the previous sentence that was issued by Branch 1 in the Revolutionary Court of Ahvaz.

In an interview, the Abedini family revealed that the grace period to present the appeal to the sentence issued by branch 1 is three weeks. His attorney has the appeal ready, but has not been given a chance to present it to the Appeals Court.

Abolfazl Abedini Nasr, after the premeditated attacks by government security agents against human rights activists, was arrested at his family’s home in Ramhormoz on March 3, 2010. He was brutally assaulted, beaten, and arrested. He was later transferred to ward 2a in Evin prison.

Additionally, Abedini’s attorney Mohammad Oliyaifard is detained in ward 350 of Evin prison to serve a one year prison sentence.
